open up my eager eyes


killer salsa. lrb attended the foodie fest in argenta and spotted an irresistible jar ($6) of homemade salsa. vinegar in salsa is a sin, so when the ingredient list was void of vinegar, i snapped it up. ingredients: tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño pepper and salt. HOLD ON, one ingredient was left off; oil. there is a greasy ring left on my bowl, i am gonna guess the ingredients were sautéed before they were canned. anyway. the salsa is addictive. not too hot, the right amount of salt and no vinegar. made and canned by team isaac, the brother duo of Ristorante Cảpeo. brian (the farmer) grew the tomatoes at Arkansas' Killer Tomato Farm and eric (the chef) whipped up the salsa. i just hope pints are available for purchase when i show up at Ristorante Cảpeo to buy more. like i said, it’s addictive.

check what they think the shelf life of this salsa is, I'll send you a prepaid UPS airbill and Atlanta's best, um, wishes.
